[Vitreoretinal proliferation as a cause of tractional retinal ablation after severe perforating injury]

The main idea of this paper was to investigate the influence of proliferative reaction in vitreous body, in case of serious injuries of the eyeball on the development of complications. It was shown that the presence of hemophthalmia which intensified PVR process and anteroposterior traction influenced the intensity of PVR and also the development of retinal ablation. The complete perforation of the posterior wall of the eye ball (duplex perforation) with the small foreign body would produce bigger scar on the posterior wall than in case of singular perforations, which would usually be enough to control anteroposterior traction towards vitreous body and prevent retinal ablation.
